Consumer Narrative
Navy Federal insisted on charging nonrefundable fees paid to third parties prior to the 3-day rescission period. The lender thereafter terminated the transaction and has not provided a refund of all fees including those paid to third parties in violation of Regulation-Z. Even though I explained to Navy Federal repeatedly that the seasoning application criteria being applied to me to secure the denial could not apply, I have been notified that the file has already been decisioned and I would need to file another application and take additional credit inquiry at additional cost. Because Navy Federal has not provided a refund of all fees for canceling the transaction, I believe Navy Federal is acting in bad faith. Causing applicants believe all fees are not refundable if the transaction is canceled by the lender or rescinded by the applicant within the 3-day period is not supported. Navy Federal repeatedly insisted on paying fees when it appears it had no intention of honoring the application. Also, Navy Federal made it appear that they wanted more information to further the current application on XX/XX/2022. Shortly thereafter it is clearly apparent that Navy Federal is merely gathering evidence in bad faith to better explain and justify itself before CFPB for complaints # XXXX and # XXXX involving this application. Navy Federal has also suddenly begun to divert the applicant away from his VA backed benefit and has suggested he to reapply or to make applications for other loan products less beneficial to XXXX veterans. NFCU to directed me to explain among many other things in bad faith, that I was no longer experiencing a hardship in a letter but used the fact that I received credit suppression protection as the sole reason to deny the application considering me as an undue credit risk applying seasoning improperly. I was led to believe verbally over the phone that I could provide further evidence or a letter from the current lender to overturn the underwriters denial decision on XX/XX/2022. After providing it the evidence is being misinterpreted in bad faith to preemptively justify the denial before the CFPB. Specifically, regularly scheduled contracted consecutive payments are being misidentified by the lender to add insult to injury. As of XX/XX/2022 the stance is that a decision has already been made and the evidence is being gathered to support some future application.
